GOP - No Vote on Debt Plan
GOP announces they do not have the votes to pass their Debt Plan. Democrats and Republicans are unable to get any of their plans through on the Debt Ceiling. Has anyone stopped to question where and why the Tea Party are a distraction in Washington DC. Why they fight and are against progress in Washington DC. Can this Party be a planted Party to destroy our Country. Remember 9-11, the pilots that flew those planes right into the Towers in New York were trained in the United States. We were blind sided, so what if the Tea Party was established to destroy our Country from these same people. It is possible, where are they getting all their money. Why are they stopping all the progress in Washington DC? Who are they and where are they coming from? It might be time we open our eyes and see what is really happening to our Country.

President Obama to address the Nation
President Obama will address the Nation regarding all the Debt Ceiling tonight. It is really too bad that the two parties Democrats and Republicans can not work together for the people. What needs to be explained to the people are all the Executive Orders issued by past Presidents and why some programs cannot be cut. President Obama and all in Washington are not coming out and talking about those Executive Orders and why some of these programs cannot be cut. It is time for someone to tell everyone the truth. Just the other day, I could not believe what I heard from the 700 Club. Some programs that definitely are in the budget going to China and Africa that really can be deleted; however, the 700 Club failed to mention these programs have been funded since Bush was in office.
Let's wish them all well in Washington DC and hope they all put their pride aside and do what is right for our country.

MARY HERRERA CARES!: Rebecca Vigil Giron Story
MARY HERRERA CARES!: Rebecca Vigil Giron Story: "Tonight I received a call from a Reporter to inform me he was going to do a story about Rebecca Vigil Giron. He said she said some pretty na..."
Rebecca Vigil Giron Story
Tonight I received a call from a Reporter to inform me he was going to do a story about Rebecca Vigil Giron. He said she said some pretty nasty things about you, Hector Balderas and Gary King. He asked if he could send them to me to make comments. I said "no I really do not care what she said about me". What happen was I requested an audit of the HAVA funds in November shortly after I was elected Secretary of State, because I could not believe the entire HAVA funds could of been spent so quickly. Those Funds were awarded to States to assist for up-coming elections to last for several years.
I advised him I knew nothing about the criminal end of the audit, or was I involved in the criminal investigation. I worked on the administrative end of the audit. I told the Reporter, I really do not believe in my heart she took any money, but she was dumb to trust the Koefers' and Mr. Gutierrez. I told him when I heard she had gotten indicted, I cried in my office. I had no clue that the Attorney General was conducting a criminal investigation and who was involved. I never was called in to testify, I only worked on the administrative end of the audit. Taking office and not finding a financial person, I myself had to work with one staff member to give the Federal Auditors all the financial reports and records that were not available. During the month of January through May, the first year I took office (2007), having an accounting background, I had to work almost every night until midnight to create reports and try to track down invoices for the Federal Auditors. I later was able to hire a Chief Financial Officer. Rebecca never gave us the courtesy of a transition. This may have helped her.
When I found out who Mr. Gutierrez was from one of auditors, during a meeting sometime in March 2007, I must of turned white, when they mentioned his name, I also told the Reporter, "I almost fell off my chair" because the Auditor asked me, "do you know him", I said "yes", he was our President of the Hispano Music Association, I was a Board Member and he is a nice guy and an intelligent man, I am shocked". The auditor told me, should I give him more time to come up with the missing 3.4 million dollar invoices. I said, "yes" I believe he has them in the basement in boxes as he informed you. I was wrong, he never came up with those invoices.
I advised the Reporter that my administration went through hell because of Rebecca Vigil Giron with all the State Agencies. They no longer trusted the Secretary of State's office because of Rebecca Vigil Giron; however, they did me a favor in the long run because I left that office with an unqualified audit, ZERO findings. Best Audit any agency can accomplish. Oh course, we got no credit for this great audit from the media because they were too one sided on the false accusation being made about us at the time, by disgruntled employees. We had to do double work, provide extra documentation, always justify what were purchasing or going out to bid, etc. The Agencies realized Rebecca Vigil Giron signed off on millions of dollars of paper work without the proper documentation or proof that the work had been performed. That is where she went wrong and got in trouble, trusting those people she hired to do advertising.
My last comment to the Reporter, was "Rebecca better find some forgiveness in her heart if she expects God to pull through all this". I also told him Hector Balderas, Gary King and myself were only doing out jobs. Hector Balderas (State Auditor) did not perform the original audit, the Federal Auditors conducted this audit that identified the 3.4 million dollars of services not found.
Yes for the record, I got emotional as I talked to the Reporter. I told him I am praying for Rebecca Vigil Giron.

64,000 Voter Registrations being Investigated!
The media again are reporting that Secretary of State, Dianna Duran has turned over 64,000 voter registration records to the State Police for investigation. What is this costing, did the State Police have the funds in their budget?
No one knows the cost and no one knows how many of those 64,000 people being investigated and are not even aware they are being investigated because the names and the number per party have not be released to the public. Why not? This is public record, social security numbers and birth dates cannot be released, but the breakdown of how many are Republicans, Democrats, Independents, etc. can be released. I would be interested in knowing this information.
The original voter registration forms are kept at the County Clerks offices per law. The County Clerks are responsible to keep their respective files updated. Why are they not included in this investigation? Dianna Duran promised to work with the experts. What is the Secretary of State trying to hide or find? Yes she admits that she made a promise to assure the files are accurate, so again, why not work with the County Clerks for accuracy?
There are a few County Clerks who do not have the staff, if that is the case, the Secretary of State can send some help. The number of County Clerks with minimal staff is very few.
We all need to remember, the Governor also promised to look into the alleged
voter fraud. Is she behind this? This is definitely a movement for Photo IDs throughout the country. Again, there has not been proof of voter fraud in New Mexico. In all the years I was County Clerk and Secretary of State, the Republicans continued to claim they had names. I asked for them, but guess what, no names were ever turned over. Why not? Yet our tax money is being used for alleged voter fraud? We really do not have the funds to waste.

Darren White Retires!
Darren White retired this week and not on a happy note. I got to know Darren White when he was Bernalillo County Sheriff and I was Bernalillo County Clerk. He and I got along very well. We worked together to defeat the consolidation of the City and County. Back then, most of the Sheriff Deputies were pretty happy to have him as their Sheriff. I do not remember who was his predecessor was, but by the end of his term, the Deputies were ready for a new Sheriff and welcomed Darren White.
I ask all of you to pray for him. This incident with his wife shows that we are all human and we make mistakes. Remember the one with no sin, cast the first stone. He took the high road and resigned. Let him go in peace, he's gone.
This is also a lesson for him, during the last campaign, he stood there with all the republicans downgrading democrats, that they were unethical, criminals, etc. This is to show you stop accusing people because you never know what is going to happen to you in the future.
I wish Darren White good luck and hope he enjoys his retirement. He did do great things during his many years of his career. Remember everyone, the media only tells the half truths and never reports all the good. God Bless Darren White and his family!

Forbidding Prayer at Veteran's Funeral--NO WAY!
Can you believe it?
"They've told the VFW and the American Legion that they cannot have prayer during burial services of our veterans, unless the family requests it in writing and submits the prayer for pre-approval." This is at the Houston National Cemetery.
The VFW has joined with other patriotic veterans' groups and the Liberty Institute to file a suit against the VA and the Director of Houston National Cemetery for religious hostility and unlawful censorship.
Many Veterans' and VFW groups need your help. Take action to let the Department of Veterans Affairs and Its Director of Houston National Cemetery, Arleen Ocasio, know we won't stand for their disrespectful and intrusive actions!
Please forward this information on your Facebook and send emails to everyone you know.
Thank you,

Grant the Congressional Gold Medal to the troops who defended Bataan during World War II
There is a Bill being drafted to grant the Congressional Gold Medal to the troops who defended Bataan during World War II. This Bill must be enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America.
If this Bill is passed, Congress will award the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of the soldiers from the United States who were prisoners of war at Bataan, in recognition of their personal sacrifice and service to their country.
Yes there has been folks against this Bill. I cannot believe it but it is true. Many of the survivors of Bataan have now passed away. They should of received this Gold Metal years ago. For the few that are living, I am hoping this Bill is passed soon.
What we want is some momentum, we do not want the Bataan story to be dominated by Libya, Afghanistan, and the Debt Ceiling. We need your help to get this sponsored and introduced. How you can help is by becoming a member of the Bataan-Corregidor Memorial Foundation on Facebook. This will increase access to updates and historical information and hopefully expand the grass roots push to get this legislation through Congress. Show Congress that you care, the more grassroots pressure, the higher likelihood of success. They definitely deserve this recognition.

Just heard the most positive news for Albuquerque, Joel Osteen will be coming to Albuquerque on October 7, 2011. That is the best news I have heard in a long time. I have been wanting to go to Austin Texas to see him, but now I do not have to go to Texas, he is coming to Albuquerque.
Joel Osteen is the most positive person I have ever listened to. If you are down and need to listen to a person who can help you turn your thinking and life into something positive, plan on going to listen to him. The event will be at the UNM Pit. Hope to see you all there.
I promise you it will be worth your time!

Changing Your Thought Patterns!
Let's look at a typical pattern of thinking. First, we recognize that there is a need to change an attitude, whatever that attitude may be. Maybe it's an attitude toward an individual or situation. I believe the way to change is through the means of prayer.
Everyone enjoy your weekend, life is too short and we all need to enjoy our life. So far the weekend is going great, God always answers your prayer if you ask him. God never lets you down, believe in him and be happy. Go out and enjoy the Summer Fest tonight or a movie with a special person or a family member.

Happy Birthday Al Hurricane
Al Hurricane is 75 years old today and I wish him happy birthday. For many years he and his family has contributed to keeping New Mexico Hispano Music alive. As Little Joe and the Familia and Ruben Ramos have kept Texas Hispano Music Alive, we have our own style here in New Mexico. We should all be proud that our New Mexico style music never died. Let's make sure it stays that way.
I can remember listening to Al Hurricane way back to when I was a little girl. My mother often went to dances where he and his band played at a club called the Far West. I can remember in high school, listening to his music and going to dances where he played as well.
I plan to be at his event to celebrate his birthday as he was at my birthday event last year. It was reported that he played at my event, oh course the Reporter never called to verify the truth. The truth is he is a great friend of mine and has been for many years, he came to my birthday party, (alone, not with his band), and sang some songs with the band that was hired for my birthday event.
Happy Birthday Al Hurricane and God Bless you with many more years.

Casey Anthony - Not Quilty
Well today this young lady was found not guilty by the jury. That is to show no one should judge another person for a crime unless you have all the facts. The media made this whole incident into a high profile movie or series, the jury had to be careful because the world was watching every single one of them. It is time the Media and all Reporters realize what they report, can really hurt incident people. The question is, do they care?
Pray for family, as far as the little girl, bless her heart, she is an angel now and is in a better place.
